This week we take a pilgrimage to the Edo Era to talk about the most famous haiku poet of all time, Matsuo Basho. Through his teachings we can learn to appreciate nature, and to leave the superficial behind in favour of all that is peaceful and natural in this world. We also discuss cherry blossoms, rap music, and ukiyo-e.
